Let's embrace who we are: Let's tell the world our African stories!

My day at the Kenya International Film Festival.

Hey people, was inspired to attend the film festival recently...was glad to share a setting with literature Nobel

winner prof. Wole Soyinka, whom people engaged in debates on issues facing the film industry in our

continent.

Lessons

To share what i learnt, we shouldn't be afraid to tell our African stories...we shouldn't stand and

just watch other people tell them. Africa has a lot of potential...watching films like 'It takes two to tango' and

'Figurine' was awesome....Interacting with great minds in the field, was a great oppotunity.

Interactions

Speak of Kunle Afolayan, the producer of 'Figurine' and Mahmoud Ali Baugoon the director of 'It takes two

to tango. It was also great meeting actors like Genevive Nnaji and Ramseh Noah amongst others....All these

are people who dared to believe that there is wealth in Africa in terms of content. So people,take this as a

challenge. 


Lets tell African stories...we have what it takes! -:)
